WSG Meets the iPad

Today we will be working with iPads. This is the first year we have had the opportunity to use iPads, so I thought we should get right to it. We are going to attempt 2 or 3 activities on the iPads today so we can get used to using them, practice some of the things we will be doing "for real" once we get into our ancient worlds. I hope you are excited. I think iPads are cool but we need to make sure we figure out the best/most effecient/most beneficial way to use them. So today we are going to try "Socrative" and "Lino" (along with WSG, of course.) Today's iPad Tasks: 1. Socrative activity to review FIRST WEEK Material 2. Use Lino to organize some "interests" of the Ancient World. 3. Post a comment on WSG: "On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you working with iPads? Do you have one at home? What types of specific things do you usually do on them?"
